Please can all the gamers post the games that they know of that require the original disks or other kinds of files NOT avaliable directly off portage.

I will keep this original post up-to-date with all the games so it can be made sticky and people only have to look at this one for a list.

Games List:

(not sure if this one should be there, please test)

BG2 / BG2SoA / BG2ToB

Those are
(BG2 = BG2SoA)
Baldur's Gate II : Shadows of Amn
Baldur's Gate II : Throne of Bhaal (Expansion Pack)

Not sure what the guidelines are (i.e. if you allow alpha/beta Portages or Cedega Games) but what I have are:
Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale : Heart of Winter
Icewind Dale II
Homeworld

(If you wanted other Cedega / Wine games that work that require CDs, I can definately pop a big list of my games I have presently working.)

If that's the case, then IWD 1, 2 and along with Planes of Torment should work with GemRB eventually... I'm unsure.

Cokehabit, please note that the Baldur's Gate games are not in portage, I'm hosting their ebuilds off-site.

Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel Sky are both in portage, as queen and bass, I think.

edit: (scummvm games)

all nwn needs is a cd key

the rest can be pulled from bioware via portage

While not exactly in Portage they do have Linux ports and need the original CDs before they can be made to do anything useful:

Descent: Freespace
Freespace 2

Also, unless you have a Windows installation to copy the .vp files from (the base ones aren't on the CDs as such, they're built at install time from installshield .CAB files) you need something like the icculus Freespace installer available here:
